Any particular books you recommend? Site work is my weakest point, and is one of the areas where generic advice just doesn’t cut it.
Most of my books are 1860s to 1940s. They had very practical advice, but you have to work for it.
I have a DuPont book from 1918 that shows how to use their product for everything from breaking pan soils, moving tree stumps, sealing broken substrata to curing hemorrhoids and digging drainage ditches. Their product, back then was explosives.

There's a book on doing survey work in the late 1800s that describes what chains, rods, and the other measurements are. It even has a primer on Trig, in case you didn't pay attention in class.
It's not one book, or even a few, it's hundreds, including books on raising hogs and bee-keeping.
And lots of field work. Get in the field. Screw up. Fix it. Learn from it. Find a mentor. Learn from your mentor.
